That's Why I'm Here

Person to person

And man to man

I'm back in touch

With my long lost friend

Listen to reason

And understand

And think of me

From way back when

He said: "Me and Melissa

Well we fell out of love

We ran out of luck

Seems like lightning struck

I've been thinking of leaving

But I can't raise a buck

James, I'm wondering

Could I borrow your truck?

I said: "That's why I'm here (that's why I'm here)

Got no better reason

That's why I'm standing before you (that's why I'm here)

That's why I'm here"

John's gone

Found dead

He dies high

He's brown bread

Later said to have drowned in his bed

After the laughter

The wave of the dread

It hits us like a ton of lead

It seems "learn not to burn"

Means to turn on a dime

And walk on if you're walking

Even if it's an uphill climb

And try to remember

That working's no crime

Just don't let them take

And waste your time

That's why I'm here (that's why I'm here)

There'll be no more messes tonight

That's why I'm here (that's why I'm here)

Whoa, that's why I'm here

This is an IOU

I reckon I owe you one now

Listen Wendy and listen Gloria

This'll be better tomorrow

Fortune and fame's

Such a curious game

Perfect strangers

Can call you by name

Pay good money

To hear Fire and Rain

Again and again

And again

Some are like summer

Coming back every year

Got your baby

Got your blanket

Got your bucket of beer

I break into a grin

From ear to ear

And suddenly

It's perfectly clear

That's why I'm here (that's why I'm here)

Sing it tonight, tomorrow and everyday

That's why I'm standing (that's why I'm here)

Oh that's why I'm here

This is the part

About Kitty and Bim

He loved her

And she loved him

Wake them up

Shake them up

The middle of the night

Got to tell me everything's alright

Sayin, that's why I'm here (that's why I'm here)

You got me walking and talking like a natural man

That's why I'm here (that's why I'm here)

That's why I'm here

That's right
